The two grand finalists in 2024’s MasterChef Australia have been revealed.
In the nail-biting semi-final, contestants Savindri Perera, Josh Perry (aka Pezza), and Nat Thaipun were tasked with designing their own menu and making a three-course meal for 20 diners as well as the judges.
The challenge was demanding for all three chefs, who were on their feet for a staggering five hours.
In the challenge, Savindri took the opportunity to try to showcase all that Sri Lankan cooking could be, however, she was plagued by time management issues.
In the end, Savindri failed to impress the judges as much as humble Tasmania butcher Pezza and risk-taking Nat, who triumphed as the two grand finalists.
After the pair were triumphant, the results were shared on MasterChef Australia’s Instagram page.
The photo showed the moment Nat and Pezza had found out they had made it through to the grand final.
‘Put your hands together for our MasterChef 2024 Grand Finalists!’ the caption read.
